Actually, it's the fact that he appears to have the timeperiod
definition in nagios.cfg itself.

Nagios.cfg is special in that it can only contain directives that
control the overall operation of nagios. You'll need to move any
template definitions such as the timeperiod definition above into a
different file and reference that as a cfg_file within nagios.cfg.
